Israeli officers met with Druze leaders from southern Syria last week on the Golan Heights, according to a report by the Arabic website "Al-Modon." The meeting, which took place on Thursday, October 15, followed the delivery of Israeli military aid to armed factions in the region.

These developments occur against a backdrop of tension between Druze militias and the Syrian government led by Ahmad al-Shar'a, and amid concerns of renewed conflict in the southern part of the country.
